{HELP} The partition running OMV keeps getting filled up

  • I've been running OMV for about a two months now. In the last fews days, I started getting error that the disk which OMV is running on get completely full.


    I am running OMV as a virtual machine in ESXi. The OMV VMDK is 16GB and it is on a physical SSD. I have another 4 drives in my server, all EXT4, a total of about 6TB. Last I checked the fullest one had about 30% free. When this first happened i was running CouchPotato so i assumed it was writing to the wrong disk and therefore filling up the OMV VMDK and not the actual drive it was supposed to. I reverted to an earlier snapshot and the issue was gone. I then just let the server sit for about 4 days and the same thing happened. I haven't ran any downloads or added any data to any of the drives.


    The error I get from ESXI is this:


    Message from batman.home: There is no more
    space for virtual disk
    /vmfs/volumes/5690800c-eb7bf402-e4ae-d0509-

    session by freeing disk space on the relevant
    volume, and clicking button.retry. Click
    button.abort to terminate this session.

    I just ran df -h and it looks like somehow all the drives are filled to capacity. [Screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/PvinhsN.png) Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to look inside the vmdk to see what's eating up all this space? This seems like a bug but I am not sure if it's with ESXi or OMV

  • I made some progress but I am not entirely sure exactly what I did. I tried to remove some of the attached drives from the OMV virtual machine and then start it. The OMV VM then booted without a problem and it looks like all my drives are there and have the actual free space.


    I realized that df -h is showing 100% because the VMDKs themselves take up 100% of the drive's space. I found a tool called RVTools which shows that the drives have a lot of free space (matching the free space that OMV itself reports). http://imgur.com/a/TeTr2
